A knife in love

Chapter 1487

Steward Wang said in a trembling voice, "Thank you for your care, my lord, I am very grateful."

Li Zhisheng said: "Stand up and speak."

Butler Wang stood up tremblingly, and stood by the side with his hands down.Li Zhisheng said: "Just now the official asked you, did you come back alone, or did you bring Zhuang Ding all back?"

Steward Wang said respectfully: "The villain came back alone. Master Li... No no, it was the villain who pretended to be Master Li who gave the order on Motianling. From today onwards, the people who built the temple will eat and drink on the mountain." I have to work in batches at night, day and night. The villain was ordered by the fake master Pan to come back to raise food and bedding. There are more than 900 people on the mountain now. It is not a job to raise so many food and bedding. An easy thing. So the villain hurried back to the village to see how much rice and noodles were left in the village. If the five-day supply of grain was not ready, the villain would go to the grain village in the city to buy some back. However, most of the males went to build temples on Motian Ridge, and there were only a few women, children, old and weak left in the village, who couldn’t help much, and the villain was very anxious. He wanted to buy food and recruit peasants, so he had to prepare some money. That's when I thought of taking some silver from the owner..."

When Butler Wang said this, he couldn't help but glanced at the main hall.Li Zhisheng thought to himself, although the old Wang is not as good at talking as the old horse, but he has been respectful to me these years, and he has always done things properly when he is asked to do them.This Steward Wang looks just like the old Wang, he has always been cautious, and with his help, things will be much easier to handle.

Thinking of this, Li Zhisheng said to Steward Wang: "That bastard on Motianling pretending to be an official is a Japanese pirate. He was anxious to build a city on the mountain, so he didn't allow the people to go down the mountain. You will send all Zhuang Ding tonight. Withdraw back to Wangjiazhuang and obey the orders of Lord Xiao and this officer."

Although Steward Wang was suspicious, how dare he disobey Li Zhisheng?Had to nod in agreement.Xiao Dong said on the side: "Wang Steward, you not only need to bring back Zhuang Ding from Wangjiazhuang, but also bring all the peasants from Lingding to Wangjiazhuang."

Butler Wang was startled.He glanced at Xiao Dong, then turned to look at Li Zhisheng.Hearing what Xiao Dong said, Li Zhisheng thought to himself, the one surnamed Xiao was right.There are 900 people on the mountain. If they all reach Wangjiazhuang, our strength will be greatly increased, and we will not have to be afraid of a large-scale siege by the Fusang people.Seeing the questioning expression in Steward Wang's eyes, Li Zhisheng nodded, and said: "Master Xiao was sent by the imperial court to deal with the Japanese pirates. You must obey Master Xiao's orders for everything big and small here."

Steward Wang agreed, thought for a moment, and then said cautiously to Xiao Dong and Li Zhisheng: "My lords, it would not be difficult for the villain to bring back our Zhuang Ding. However, Majiazhuang and Xuejiazhuang The owner of the villa has always had some quarrels with our village. Whether the subordinates of the two owners will listen to the villain, the villain is not sure..."

When he said this, he watched Xiao Dong and Li Zhisheng stop talking.Li Qiufeng watched with cold eyes, and thought to himself, this Steward Wang is very measured in his words and actions, and he is indeed a powerful person.It's a pity that he is not Lian Jiazi, otherwise he would join us in a decisive battle with Liu Sheng's clan, and he would have some confidence.

After listening to Steward Wang's words, Xiao Dong pondered for a moment, then turned to Li Zhisheng and said, "Master Li, I'm afraid you need to go to Motian Ridge in person."

Li Zhisheng was startled, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Xiao, what do you mean? Isn't this going to push the lower officials into the fire pit?!"

Xiao Dong said in a deep voice: "Lord Li, you don't have to be so afraid. Steward Wang will accompany you and Master Pan to Motian Ridge. There are hundreds of Zhuang Ding from Wang's Village there, and they will listen to your orders. How can Fusang people hurt you?" To you? After you reach the mountain, with the help of Steward Wang, first take down the Fusang people who pretended to be you and Mr. Pan, and it is best to kill them in public, and then bring all the peasants back to Wangjiazhuang. There will be nearly a thousand troops. With a little training at that time, even if the Fusang people attack in large numbers, we will be able to resist for a while."

Li Zhisheng's face was pale, how dare he go to Motianling to take risks?The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he said in a trembling voice: "Master Xiao, the lower officials, the lower officials have no strength to restrain a chicken. If they reach the Motian Ridge, they will definitely be killed by the Fusang people. Lord Xiao is used to the big world. , is much more rigorous than a subordinate official. It is better to invite Master Xiao to walk on the Motianling in person. With Master Xiao, the Zhuang Ding and the husbands of each village will be willing to serve Master Xiao, which is much better than the official... "

Xiao Dong saw that Li Zhisheng was so timid and fearful of death, he felt scornful in his heart, and said with a sneer: "Xiao's trip is on a mission under the order of the Minister of War, the Minister of War, and other officials and principals, not to deal with the Japanese pirates. It's just a coincidence that I drifted to Dongliao County. The officials, gentry, and common people in your county only know you, Mr. Li, and Mr. Pan and Mr. Jiang. Who knows who I am? I followed Steward Wang to Motian Ridge I want everyone to come down the mountain with me, except for Zhuang Ding from Wangjiazhuang, will Zhuang Ding from Majiazhuang and Xuejiazhuang listen to my orders?"

When Xiao Dong said this, he raised his eyebrows and stared at Li Zhisheng.Li Zhisheng was stared intently at him, and his body trembled, knowing that if he pushed back again and again, Xiao Dongfei would have to turn his face on the spot.So he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and said in a trembling voice: "Your officer will follow orders..."

While talking, Li Zhisheng turned his head to look at Li Qiufeng, and then said: "However, I have a merciless request. This Young Master Zhu is a hero. If I have his help, I will go to the mountain to deal with it." The pirates are more confident..."

Before Li Zhisheng finished speaking, Xiao Dong shook his head and said, "Young Master Zhu has other things to do, so I can't go with you."

Hearing what Xiao Dong said, Li Zhisheng thought to himself, you bastard said I was timid, but in fact, you bastard is most afraid of death.You keep the kid surnamed Zhu by your side, naturally you want him to protect you.It's a pity that several of Lao Tzu's confidants were not with him, otherwise there would be no need to be so embarrassing.

Seeing that Li Zhisheng was still lingering and refused to go to Motianling, Xiao Dong felt annoyed, and when he was about to urge him, he heard footsteps at the corner door, and then two people walked in.Li Zhisheng turned his head to look, and after seeing clearly that it was Master Jiang and Butou He who came, he was overjoyed and said loudly: "Old Jiang, you are finally here!"

After Li Zhisheng finished speaking, he was about to go up to greet him.Master Pan hurriedly stopped him, and said in a low voice: "My lord, beware of fraud!"

Li Zhisheng's heart trembled, and he stopped immediately, staring at Master Jiang and He Butou.Xiao Dong, Zhang Shi, Qin Laowu and the others were also secretly on guard, and Yu Yuanwai and several big households in Dongliao County took a few steps back quietly.

When Master Jiang and Inspector He saw Li Zhisheng and Master Pan at first glance, their expressions changed, and they stopped immediately, and they all looked at Steward Wang.Butler Wang's face was pale, and he seemed to want to speak, but he couldn't speak.Master Jiang looked at Steward Wang, then at Li Zhisheng and Master Pan, his face was full of surprise, and after a long while, he said to Li Zhisheng: "My lord, why are you here?"
